Exegesis
The pronominal suffix in mimmenû {מִמֶּנּוּ | mimmenû} “from him” completes the action. This parallel structure in Hebrew—stating an inherent problem and its remedy—is preserved through coordinated English clauses.
In context — Proverbs 22:15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
